"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. More modern use refers to a person's heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth. Let's just say, we are in our heyday!!

Flight reservations made!

I woke up today around 1:30pm (only getting to bed at 9am) and Brad said that we had our consulate appointment. There was no way I was getting back to sleep without making our plane reservations! As it stands, we are leaving Tuesday August 31st and returning Friday September 17th. We will travel to Inner Mongolia on Sept. 5th and meet Cadence that day or the next! We are so excited but I'm already anxious about being away from Laurel for so long. I know she'll be in good hands and having fun with her friends... but that is a long time to be away from her. She is so excited that her little sister will be coming home to her!

When is your Consulate appt? We were told ours is 9-15-10, but she wants to confirm some date issues before she tells us this is for sure. It will either be 9-15-10 or 9-22-10, our agency was told today it was already made for 9-15-10. We may be in Guangzhou together!

Red thread to farming and back to the burbs

This blog was started in 2010 to document our journey to bring home our daughter, Cadence, from China. She's here now, feels like she's been with us forever! It also feels like it's time to switch gears. Time to change it up to a blog about our family and the ups, downs, and all arounds of our life together.
